Who should pay for our climate crisis?

Our climate and inequality crises are inextricably linked through the tax system. Fossil fuel corporations have increased profits and economic power – in great part by taking advantage of tax measures that have cost the public and the planet.

We need new tax measures such as a wealth tax and a windfall tax to redistribute economic power and ensure the biggest polluters pay their fair share.
